AA Roadwatch newsreader Sinead Tyrell was caught out when she called Love/Hate star Laurence Kinlan Nemo live on air.
The radio star had claimed to be a massive fan of the gangland drama but she was left tried faced when she referred to him as Nemo – instead of Elmo.
“Come here, do you watch Love/Hate – Who’s your favourite?” Laurence asked.

“I do I am a massive fan… you of course Nemo,” Sinead replied.
Laurence who co-hosted Breakfast Republic this morning with Eoghan McDermott – was in stitches laughing at Sinead’s mistake.
“Nemo? You’ve failed – that is the best thing that has ever happened,” he said.
However Sinead –Â who was already mortified – went on to make the same mistake all over again.
“Oh I am so sorry, I meant Emo,” Sinead blurted to which Eoghan picked up on.
“What Elmo? Oh my god Elmo, I am so embarrassed.”
Meanwhile, Laurence admitted that people always gets his characters name mixed up – but Nemo was his favourite.
“I get Emo Nemo, Beano but that’s the best and do you know why it’s the best? Because it’s going out to the nation –Â Sinead is finding Nemo,” he said.
